    Hey new possible Taco owner here driving it for 24 hrs an so far pleased with it 15 trd sport ccsb 4wd Barcelona red. Currently own a 11 Nissan Titan pro4x modded to all get out been a great rig but it's time to move on been faithful with 211xxx never left me stranded. Always been a fan of tacomas but didn't want to pay for it but right deal came along so trying to make it work love it so far but plan on "trying" to keep it stock if I get it.

    About me grew in Albuquerque joined army at 18 as a air traffic controller moved to Texas got married moved around the country for my job after I got out from North Carolina to California an now back to Texas doing it. Always out in the woods or desert wheeling/hunting/fishing/hiking so a reliable 4wd is a must titan for the bill for a while it's kinda cumbersome but my grandpa has a t100 with 350k normal repairs an maintenance an runs like a top I saw the thread about 300k so I hope I get the same I take meticulous care of my stuff an but enjoy them as intended. Thanks am looking to meeting some cool folks an get some knowledge. Old rig an possible new one

    Hey thanks for the warm welcome an yes still doing atc it's all I know. Ya cowsmasher came from actually hitting a cow on a backroad with that bumper at night didn't even scratch truck but cow had to be put down unfortunately it broke threw a fence. But I had good beef for 2 months lol. Here's what i did to the titan had deaver leaf springs fox 2.5 oem coilovers an fox rear shocks, Jba long tubes, highflow cats, Jba cat back tuned with uprev, arb bumper, k&n cai, also had ucas, low profile toolbox an wheels/tires...if i do anything to the taco it will be icon package an arb bumper again is all an good set of a/ts.

    Welcome! I feel like I've seen your Titan around, pretty unique with the ARB bumper. You ever run around between San Marcos and Seguin on 123?

    Thanks everybody I'm looking forward to being added. As far as a trade up not so sure on that aspect yet being stock for stock most def indeed but I put a lot of time an effort into the old titan to perform the way i wanted but I do like the tacomas an the aftermarket for them is mind blowing Nissan was so limited but what was available is decent.
